Homage to the McGregor Womenswear and Menwear Winter 2012 collection which is inspired by the lifestyle and heritage of the eight American Ivy League universities. But it's also a celebration of the brand that's been synonymous with intelligent, colorful collections since 1921. The result: an authentic collection with a contemporary, preppy look, which puts the brand's rich Anglo-American heritage center stage.

Club House Gents
The varsity-inspired Club House Gents theme embodies both the competitive spirit of the match and the feeling of relaxation before and after the game, with heritage and modernity side by side in perfect harmony. Some of the more eye-catching pieces in this theme are the reversible college jacket in navy and white, the traditional lace-up rugby shirts, chinos in a range of colors, including the Club House colors of navy and bordeaux, and lightweight down jackets in cobalt and bottle green. The preppy feel of Club House Gents is further enhanced by a special line of accessories, offering items like a stormproof umbrella, reversible leather and silk belts, and woolen caps.

Fraternity Drive
The source of inspiration behind Fraternity Drive is communal living in the Ivy League universities. This nonchalant theme references the fraternity and sorority houses, which has been translated into a distinctly casual collection. The key items in this theme are the destroyed washed denims, washed corduroy jackets with preppy details like a navy-and-white lining, tartan washed flannel and Oxford shirts, and washed leather jackets.

Elegant Futura
Sophisticated use of color is one of the distinctive features of the Elegant Futura theme, where rich blue tones are combined with warm greys and contrasting lavender, pink and aqua shades. Italian luxury is the common denominator between the different pieces, such as the unstructured jackets in the authentic McGregor tartan, the slim-fit pinstripe suits, a quilted wool jacket, and the commuter jacket in luxury herringbone with plenty of practical, stylish pockets.

Castello Estate
Warm brown tones, camel, beautifully understated blues and deep green paint the Castello Estate picture. This theme offers extra-fine rib cord suits, herringbone cargo pants in the finest Italian wool, cashmere V-neck sweaters and, for the first time in the collection, a sophisticated taupe sheepskin jacket.

WOMENSWEAR
Club House
The varsity-inspired Club House theme embodies both the competitive spirit of the match and the feeling of relaxation before and after the game, with heritage and modernity side by side in perfect harmony.

Club House makes its mark with striking, sporty colors combined with subtle, timeless tones in pieces like tailored tweed blazers, long coarse-knit winter cardigans, knitted waistcoats with fur collars and heritage blazers in stunning green, pink and off-white tartan.

Homecoming
An important part of American university life is the annual ‘homecoming weekend’, which sees students and alumni come together for a weekend of sporting and other events. The colors and traditions of Harvard and Yale provide a rich source of inspiration for the Homecoming theme, and are combined here with McGregor’s own bold color palette of red, white and navy. Luxurious silk blouses, wraparound dresses and tunics with black-and-white polka dot and mille-fleurs designs give the homecoming theme its sophisticated feel, as do the sweat dresses and the super-soft hazelnut-colored leather bomber jackets. And making its first entrance into the womenswear collection is the ultra-feminine tailored duffel jacket in midnight blue tartan.

Ski Society
The exclusive Ski Society theme is inspired by the famous Dartmouth Ski Team. This top Ivy League team is known for its sporty and stylish traditions. In this theme McGregor’s familiar red, white and navy are combined with classic college colors to give the collection a chic, retro look. Ponchos, gloves and long scarves in Norwegian patterns, luxurious sporty woolen biker jackets, wraparound cashmere cardigans, cozy fleece blazers and beautiful shiny down jackets are the eye-catching items in this theme.

Sorority Drive
The source of inspiration behind Sorority Drive is communal living in the Ivy League universities. This nonchalant theme references the fraternity and sorority houses, which has been translated into a distinctly casual collection. The key items in this theme are the washed leather biker jackets, the cotton women's car coat, wraparound dresses in washed silk with mille-fleurs prints, and some very feminine washed flannel shirt dresses.
